About
Philipp Honigmann is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of computer-assisted and robot-guided bone surgery, with a primary focus on craniomaxillofacial and hand surgery. His research centers on the clinical translation of advanced technologies, particularly the integration of cold ablation laser osteotomy with robotic systems and patient-specific 3D-printed implants. Honigmann’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of robot-guided laser osteotomy in hand, wrist, and forearm surgery, a technique that minimizes thermal and mechanical damage to bone and soft tissues compared to traditional saws and chisels. His 2022 feasibility study (16 citations) established a foundational proof-of-concept for this approach. More recently, his 2024 work on fronto-orbital advancement introduced a fully digital workflow combining virtual surgical planning, 3D-printed implants, and robot-guided laser osteotomy for craniosynostosis correction, achieving high in vitro accuracy. This work represents a significant step toward eliminating manual transfer errors in complex cranial procedures. Honigmann’s research is characterized by its direct clinical applicability, aiming to improve surgical precision, reduce invasiveness, and enhance patient outcomes through the seamless fusion of robotics, imaging, and additive manufacturing.
